Are pull requests worth it?
Some people assume there is no other way to make sure code is reviewed because they’ve never seen anything else. However, pull requests sacrifice performance, including both delivery time and quality. This is a sacrifice worth making to manage the risk of accepting changes from unknown people.
How does a developer make a pull request?
A developer creates the feature in a dedicated branch in their local repo. The developer pushes the branch to a public Bitbucket repository. The developer files a pull request via Bitbucket. The rest of the team reviews the code, discusses it, and alters it.
What do you need to send a pull request?
Developers only need access to read the repository to send a pull request, though to make changes to be merged into the public repository, they will need to request write access. Once they have access, developers can create a topic branch, giving themselves access to the code they want to change.

In their simplest form, pull requests are a mechanism for a developer to notify team members that they have completed a feature. Once their feature branch is ready, the developer files a pull request via their Bitbucket account. This lets everybody involved know that they need to review the code and merge it into the master branch.
Is the pull request the same as the source?
Since each developer has their own public repository, the pull request’s source repository will differ from its destination repository. The source repository is the developer’s public repository and the source branch is the one that contains the proposed changes.
